全球经济面临重创,低利率将是美联储长期计划
关键词:全球经济面临重创
4月6日,全球竞价受到巨大的通货紧缩得冲击,全球诸多国家因为控制疫情带来的危机而陷入经济停摆状态,失业率明显增加,这可能促使央行将利率长期维持在低水平。
令人担忧的是,这可能会延长自大萧条以来最严重的衰退。定价权的衰退使那些在经济景气时期大量举债的公司更难履行债务,这可能促使他们进一步削减薪资和投资,甚至是拖欠债务、破产。
尽管价格疲软或下跌对消费者来说似乎是利好的,但普遍的通缩性价格下跌可能对整个经济有害。由于预期价格会越来越低,家庭会推迟购买,而公司则会推迟投资,因为他们认为利润机会有限。
即使在冠状病毒危机缓解后,停摆带来的伤疤——失业率上升、消费者和企业信心受损以及就业机会交错,这些仍可能抑制价格压力,促使央行将利率长期维持在最低水平。
不过在未来道路上,所有的巨额资金(加上大量政府债务来支付对抗病毒的措施)可能会导致价格压力的加剧。
全球消费者价格指数将在2020年中左右某个时候暂时低于去年同期水平,这是数十年来的首次,其中大部分是由于油价暴跌。尽管上周由于有可能减产的报道而反弹,但油价自1月1日以来仍下跌了约55%。
甚至在危机之前,货币政策制定者就担心通货膨胀率过低,不利于其经济。现在,他们有更多的担忧理由。
欧洲央行理事会成员罗伯特·霍尔兹曼说:“不能排除通缩的可能性,但是我拒绝做出估计。如果通缩是由于实体经济的衰退,那么仅通过货币政策工具将很难解决这一问题。”
